Moby Lives has the details on the latest chapter in the Greg Mortenson alleged-memoir-fabrication saga:
Two Montana state legislators have announced a filing in federal court in Helena seeking a class-action lawsuit against Three Cups of Tea author Greg Mortenson and his Central Asia Institute (CAI), reports an Associated Press wire story. The two claim âthey were duped into buying Mortensonâs best-selling book and donating to his charity based on lies they thought were true,â and that âthe lawsuit potentially could be joined by millions of people who bought Mortensonâs books, heard his speeches or donated to his charity.â
Wow. In other news, Mortenson has announced through his website that he is awaiting surgery to repair a hole in his heart.
